Well, three weeks are officially over! This past week was a little tough regarding motivation. It was hard to get in all my runs, but I did. Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday all featured some kind of running. It was a short week mileage-wise, with my long run on Wednesday only lasting 5 miles (I'm using a two-steps-forward, one-step-back training approach). Due to the snowstorm, I had to do this on the treadmill, which was not fun AT ALL. But I was grateful to at least have the treadmill to use so that I could train.
I slipped up a little yesterday with my eating and indulged in some snacks I shouldn't have had. I'm paying the price today -- I feel bloated and not very energetic, which should make today's 3-mile run particularly un-fun. Why is nutrition the hardest part? I find it easier to bust my butt during workouts than to abstain from treats every so often. All I can do this week is push the "reset" button and begin eating clean again.
This week's long run is 9 miles. I am very apprehensive about that distance, although I can't pinpoint why. I'll just take it slowly and do my best. That's all I can ever do!
